Tayla Margaret Williams was born at royal women in Melbourne on
the third of October her Mothers name is Leanne Frances Williams
father unknown. When Tayla was born she had a tetralogy of fallot
(A heart condition) She was then taken to Royal children's to
have a operation on her heart is was not as bad as her big
brother Harley Peter Williams they both suffer from the same
heart condition but Harleys is a lot worse he has to be revived
then he was a baby, he has also lived a lot at the Royal
children. Tayla stayed at the royal children's a lot with cords
In her body. It was strange most of the time when a heart
condition baby is born they need help breathing but Tayla did not
she was able to breathe on her own some doctors where a little
shocked. From that day Tayla life only just beginning… this is
her story

Tayla had to go to The Royal Children's 2-3 times a year (and
still dose) they told her heart was fine and all is good but one
day she will need to have another operation If things do go
wrong, but after that she should be fine. As years went by Tayla
grow up with it and did not even cared about her heart people did
ask about it when they went out. Her Family called the scar down
her chest "Tayla's zipper" Tayla's life was moving along but then
in year her 3ed year in Primary school she woke up limping her
Mother was worried about her so took her to the local Doctor's
all they had to day was that Tayla was "Faking it to get out of
school or she slept on it wrong and if she was still limping come
back" Witch Tayla was very upset over why would she portend to
limp just to get out of school even to this day she dislikes that
doctor. 1-2 weeks after Tayla was still limping they took her
back and gave her a X-Ray and that showed nothing a couple days
later they took her back agine they did a second X-Ray and still
showed nothing witch only made her mother think she was faking,
they told Tayla and her mum to come back In 6 mouths but Tayla
kept limping then she had a heart appointment her mum told them
about it and they took X-Rays and turned out Tayla had a hip
problem called "Preethi's" with is the ball in Tayla's hip had
start to fall out of the socket if they had waited them 6 months
Tayla's hip could of collapsed.

Tayla had to go around wearing Broomstick plaster and was put in
a wheel chair with made everything she was doing harder bathing,
school (Got bullied), Seeing friends, sleeping. She also need to
have a operation on her hip to put a metal disk in for about 6-12
months it then got taken it out she needed to learn how to walk
again, it took her a while she was put in her broomstick plaster
again and in a wheel chair then they took the plater off in about
3 months and she had crunches Tayla missed out on a lot of school
and got put in a special class and had to talk to people and the
principal got her to talk to the whole school about it but Tayla
just wonted a normal life she still did not see the big deal but
everyone was helpful. She got better then after a while she told
her in a joking way she would never to come back if only that was
true because when she was in year 7 in the middle of the year,
one morning she work up with her right foot was swollen up the
knee her mother thought is was not big deal, she went to school
after that her foot still swollen her mother once again took her
to the doctor the same one they said "It was a spider bite" still
it was the same she then had to be taken to the Royal Children's
again they make her stay over night for a while witch she was
very happy to do seeing as she was use to it. Then they told her
mother that Tayla would need to have a needle in between her toes
to see if she had something called Linfedema, they then got dye
shot up her legs they said she was the best patient they had,
seeing how there was a man there to hold her down if they needed
it but Tayla was Strong, trued out Tayla did have Linfedema
witch would be with her, her whole life, she was made to wear a
stocking made in Germany she would have to wear this EVERY day
and hand wash it.

Once again Tayla was seeing more doctor she missed a lot of
school again but when she got back, she went back to the way she
was a lot of people asked about, It she did feel unconfident
about her body making her a bit depressed.

In year 8 close to the end of the year things went bad Tayla
started Cutting herself she did not really know just felt she
needed it there was stress at school and at home, there was a
girl who shell not be named who knew about it her other friends
did, one day at Art Tayla had a slap bracelet and she was
scratching her arm to the girl it looked like Tayla was cutting
her self the girl made a big fuse out of it and run out of the
room saying "Don't joke about that when you do it" Tayla was in
shock that people would know she was scared and was shaking, some
girls ran after her the girl told them one girl came up to Tayla
and asked if she cut herself Tayla told her it was none of her
business, She was made to go talk to a teacher and they found out
and Tayla was told to tell her mother when Tayla got home she
told her mother and her mother was upset with her Tayla felt
depressed and lonely but her friends where there for her, The
girl and Tayla stoped being friends and then one day in class the
girl sent Tayla a death note saying "Leave me the F**k alone and
don't come near me or ill kill you" Tayla run out of the room
crying after everything her had gone thou why did this girl want
to hurt Tayla like this? Why? The girl did not get in big trouble
but after that Tayla was different and still is people have
called her emo the sad thing was the teachers where around when
all this had happened but no one helped more sad was the students
when on the girls side yelling at Tayla saying and calling her
names…
